Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Thunder Betting Tips

Brisbane Heat to score over 21.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85 @Parimatch)

Brisbane Heat have a strong batting line-up in the competition. This season, BH posted the scores of 66, 24 & 27 runs before their first loss in the three games. Usman Khawaja was fantastic alongside Colin Munro in the first game of the competition but due to international duty, Khawaja had to be replaced with Josh Brown in the opening line-up. Munro and Brown average at 30.88 & 17.87 in their T20 career and should be able to lead the team efficiently. The team managed to score over 21 runs in all the three games and this should be different than any other game for the team. This will be their second clash this season where BH posted 24 runs before their first dismissal in the previous meeting. That said, BH should be able to gather enough runs for the first wicket to win you a bonus.

Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Thunder Betting Odds

Brisbane Heat clinched a 6-wicket victory over Melbourne Renegades, securing the top spot. Colin Munro and Josh Brown's strong opening performances are key, supported by a robust middle order with Billings, McSweeney, and Renshaw. Neser, Johnson, and Kuhnemann are expected to deliver solid bowling spells.

Chris Green's side broke its two-game losing spree to register the first win for the side this season. They defeated the Melbourne Stars by 5 wickets, and the side would like to use this confidence as they head into a very tough match. Hales and Bancroft's 78-run stand boosted confidence. Sangha, Ross, and Davies form a strong middle order. Sams, McAndrew, and Green in the lower middle order must contribute. The bowling attack hasn't been at its best, and the side will need a good show from Chris Green and Liam Hatcher in this game. Daniel Sams picked 4 wickets in the last game, and he will be confident.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Brisbane Heat

In the last five meetings between Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder, the Thunders lead the tally by 3-2. However, Brisbane Heat have turned things around since last season. The sides clashed earlier this season where Brisbane Heat won the game by 20 runs. BH are yet to lose a game in the competition and top the standings with terrific performances in the tournament. Whereas, Sydney Thunder have been unfortunate and lost more than they could win in the tournament. With that being said, Brisbane Heat will be match favourites for this affair.
